The Bible is literally true from cover to cover.

The previous response to you is the best answer to explain why you are wrong. But as a more practical example: If what you say is correct, how do you explain the obvious contradiction between Genesis 1:25-27 and Genesis 2:18-19? Genesis 1 and 2 have direct contradictions in the order of creation - they can not both be literally true. And you'll note that we're not even out of the second chapter of the first book yet...

If the Bible is not true than Christs redemption is not true.

Not sure why people try to create an "obvious contradiction", when there is none. Do you think God or Moses was confused when he wrote this down?

Genesis 1:25-27 - > Animals were created before Adam. Man has not evolved from them.

Genesis 2:18-19 - > God restates that he created animals/birds and Adam now names them. Adam is not like the animals, he has no equal, he did not evolve from them...he has no helpmate (yet).
Gen 1 = The account of creation
Gen 2 = Mans need for a helpmate
